Correct option is B)
Let the speed of the train be xkmph
Length of the train =150m=1000150=203km and time taken to cross the man = 10 seconds = 60×6010 Relative speed = (x−2)kmph (Both are moving in same direction) We know that, Relative speedLength of the train= Time taken to cross the man Relative speed = 20×13×360 x−2=20×13×360 x=54+2=56kmph Hence, speed of train is 56kmph.
